The 17-Mile Drive

Navigate the world's most scenic coastal drive through the exclusive enclave of Pebble Beach.

Iconic Stops

The drive features 21 points of interest, including the world-famous Lone Cypress and the restless shores of Spanish Bay.

The Lone Cypress

Perched on a granite hillside for over 250 years, this tree is the symbol of the Pebble Beach Company and a marvel of coastal resilience.

Expert Tip

The gate fee is reimbursed if you spend $35 or more at any of the Pebble Beach resort restaurants.

Local Advice: The 17-Mile Drive is a bucket-list experience that is worth doing at least once. While much of the drive winds past spectacular coastal estates, the real magic happens when you reach the vistas overlooking the Monterey Bay.

Expert Tip: To avoid the gate fee and ensure a smooth visit, we highly recommend making a restaurant reservation at one of the Pebble Beach resorts in advance. If you are a golfer, this is also your opportunity to book a tee time at one of the world-class golf courses like Spyglass Hill or the Links at Spanish Bay.
